Chapter 73 - Daisy’s Surprise! Steady Stream Of Caravans!
“So, I’m not actually dead?”
Half an hour later, Daisy looked at Miwei in front of her and asked. Upon realizing her mistake, she felt somewhat embarrassed.
Miwei replied, “Yeah, you’re not dead. Master bought you from the slave traders.”
Daisy looked at Miwei and asked, “Master? So, you’re a human noble’s slave?”
Miwei responded, “We’re not slaves, we’re free. Master is very kind. Come on, let me show you around.”
After breakfast, Daisy regained quite a bit of strength. Hearing this, she followed Miwei out of the small castle.
As soon as they stepped out, Daisy saw a large number of fox tents.
Many fox people were still active in these tents.
“Why are there so many fox people here?” Daisy asked.
Miwei explained, “Hmm, this is the fox tribe under Master’s protection. The kobold tribe was preparing to attack them, and Master saved them and took them in.”
Thinking of the fox maid servants in the small castle, Daisy understood a bit. Surely it was because the fox tribe was grateful for Richard’s actions that they sent so many fox maid servants to serve him.
Then, Miwei led Daisy to the town, which was bustling with activity.
Many people were still dining.
There were humans, fox people, and even minotaurs dining together in the town.
“These minotaurs are also under Master’s command, and they are very loyal to Master!” Miwei said.
Daisy looked at the minotaurs, who were eating large pieces of meat, with wide eyes.
The amount of food one minotaur could consume… was enough to feed everyone in her tribe for one meal!
But, there wasn’t just one minotaur like this.
There were many.
Just the minotaurs Daisy could see amounted to dozens!
“So many minotaurs!”
Daisy’s mind went blank as she watched these minotaurs grabbing steamed buns and chicken legs and eating them openly.
Because, she was calculating how long the food these minotaurs ate would last her tribe.
In the end…
She figured it out.
The amount of food these minotaurs ate in one meal would last her tribe for a month!
This comparison was like a person who couldn’t even afford a bicycle suddenly seeing a super-rich person who commuted to work in a private jet!
This immediately shocked Daisy immensely!
She suddenly felt… Miwei’s master must be a great noble in the human world!
Otherwise, where would the food to feed the minotaurs come from?
Daisy thought of the meal she had just eaten. That was the most comfortable and satisfying meal she had had in the past month.
Then, Daisy observed more things.
For example, there were also many humans here, but they seemed accustomed to or indifferent towards the presence of demi-humans.
They didn’t even look at her with strange eyes.
And because she was walking with Miwei, some humans didn’t even dare to look at her.
Because Miwei was Richard’s maid, and many people regarded her as Richard’s confidant, the people in the territory dared not show any disrespect towards Miwei.
Curiosity arose in her heart.
That is, what kind of man was the lord of this territory, the person who Miwei called Master?
To actually have such courage, to take in so many demi-humans, and at the same time, to shelter so many humans during the locust plague!
He must be very powerful and wealthy, right?
..
“Master, her name is Daisy.”
More than an hour later, Miwei brought Daisy in front of Richard.
As Miwei introduced her, Daisy secretly observed Richard with curious eyes.
The aesthetic of demi-humans was actually different from that of humans.
Of course, it also varied among different races.
For example, in Richard’s eyes, Miwei, the cat girl, was pretty, cute, and full of character. But, if it were goblins or werewolves, minotaurs, they wouldn’t see such merits in Miwei.
Of course, goblins still knew the human standard, so they would sell many of the beast-eared girls who were attractive to humans to slave traders.
However, even though aesthetic standards may differ somewhat, in Daisy’s eyes, Richard was quite a charming human.
Clad in a well-fitted noble robe, draped over his tall and straight figure, he appeared handsome and vibrant. His whole demeanor exuded a sunny disposition.
This kind of Richard made Daisy’s eyes sparkle.
“Hello, Daisy,” Richard greeted her.
Daisy hurriedly replied, “Lord Richard, hello.”
Just as Richard was about to speak, a craftsman approached and said, “Lord, we need your guidance on how to lay the marble.”
Richard gave a faint “Hmm” and said, “I’ll be there shortly.”
After that, Richard said to Daisy, “You and Miwei can wander around first. Let Miwei know if you need anything.”
“Okay, Lord Richard!” Daisy replied.
Richard followed the craftsman.
Naturally, the floors of the castle had to be tiled with marble, but these craftsmen didn’t quite understand how to apply marble yet.
After Richard left, Miwei took Daisy around the territory to observe.
“Wow, such a large city!”
When Daisy saw the city under construction, she was full of surprise.
The roads in this city had already been paved, wide and straight, exceptionally smooth without a speck of dirt.
The roads didn’t look like they were made of cobblestones; they seemed like a single, continuous piece, unlike anything Daisy had ever seen.
The buildings on both sides of the road were tall and large, with white-painted walls and beautiful red tiles on the roofs. Between these buildings were planted many flowers and greenery.
Daisy had never seen such a city before.
“Is this Lord Richard’s city?” She asked.
Miwei replied, “Yes, this is Master’s city.”
“Lord Richard is truly wealthy.” Daisy exclaimed.
After a tour, she was already filled with profound amazement. Everything she saw on Richard’s territory left her incredibly astonished.
In the end, Daisy decided to stay on Richard’s territory.
Although this bunny girl was extremely petite, her character was quite strong.
Upon learning that Richard had bought her from a slave trader with a mirror, she decided to work for him to repay the cost of the mirror bit by bit with her wages.
Well, the price of that mirror was around 20 gold coins, so who knows how many years it would take Daisy to pay it off~
On the second day of Daisy’s arrival, another caravan entered the territory.
This caravan was also here to buy glassware and such from Richard.
“Respected Lord, Baron Laurie mentioned that you have some great items here that nobles really like. Can you sell me some?” the leader of the caravan asked.
Richard replied, “Of course, how much do you need?”
“We need about 5 crystal glass cups, a few of those little gadgets you use for starting fires, and 3 mirrors.”
Richard calculated and then provided the items the caravan leader needed.
Altogether, it amounted to over a hundred gold coins.
After the caravan leader packed up the items, he asked Richard, “Lord, do you happen to have any food for sale here?”
More food purchases?
Richard pondered for a moment and said, “Of course, how much do you need?”
The leader of the caravan said, “We’ll take as much as you have!”
Alright.
In the end, Richard sold over 20,000 kilograms of potatoes to the leader of this caravan.
This caravan was quite powerful, with over twenty carriages, each capable of carrying over a thousand pounds.
Just four days after this caravan arrived, another one entered Richard’s territory.
It seemed that news of Richard’s food supply had spread to the cities west of his territory.
